How to make a javascript alert NOT say the name of the page?

Question

My webapp alert looks like this:

---

InputCoordinates.html

Latitude must be filled out.

---

I would say this looks unprofessional and rough around the edges. Is there a way to stop the alert from displaying the pagename?

Unfortunately, no, not with the default javascript alert. You'll need to create a custom alert box of your own. – Chamber

show some code ! Have you considered modal popups instead of alert's ? – Ley

Haha the code is just "alert("So and so");", so I didn't bother. I am unfamiliar with modal popups, I'll have to look into that. – Backandforth

Answer 1

You can't manipulate that.
Maybe you take a look at these bastards called modal popups, if youre able to use jQuery.

There are non-jquery options, too, of course.

Answer 2

Use an HTML modal box instead of the JavaScript alert() Box.

There are plenty of options to choose from on the web, e.g. here.

Answer 3

I'd advise you not to use "alert". Use something that allows you to style it yourself, e.g., jQuery Dialog. You can make that modal if necessary (follow the links on the right of the page I sent for add'l examples).
